Up scale hotel in a great location. Really nice hotel with an excellent breakfast. Also it has a great location, exit the train station and turn left/east 200 feet on the left. Even if you have a lot of baggage it is easy.
Bellini Boscolo Hotel Venice: Convenience in Venice

The main attraction to the Bellini is its convenience. On arrival by bus from the airport you are dumped in Piazzale Roma which is only a 5 minute walk to the hotel over two bridges. We noted many tourists looking confused and waiting for taxis or canal buses to take them to their hotels. Within 15 minutes of getting off our bus we had checked into the Bellini and were out again exploring Venice. Just 100 yards from the Bellini’s front door is the railway station (no noise of trains) and one of the main canal water bus stations (your real entrance to Venice).
The area surrounding the hotel is full of shops and restaurants and plenty to explore.
The rooms are ok, maybe a bit small, but who spends all their time in a hotel bedroom when in a city like Venice? The beds were comfortable, the room clean the bathroom fine (though the plumbing was inclined to rattle a bit). The staff were courteous, friendly and helpful and spoke English well.
We only ever ate breakfast at the Bellini which at an extra 18 Euros was a bit expensive though there was plenty to eat and what there was was good.
We would certainly recommend the Bellini and use it again.
